About Us
At Lanterns Arts & Educational Nursery, we’ve spent over 35 years creating a space where children feel safe, supported and ready to explore. Based in Canary Wharf, our experienced team helps each child grow in their own way.
We believe young children learn best through play, curiosity and gentle encouragement. Set in a creative, arts-based environment, our nursery gives children space to express themselves while building confidence and key skills.
We offer both full-time and part-time places, with flexible sessions to suit your routine.
Meals are included, and you only need to commit to two sessions a week.
Lanterns is open all year, with short breaks at Christmas, Easter and on Bank Holidays. We keep things simple so you can focus on your child feeling happy and settled.
At Lanterns Arts & Educational Nursery space: 30,000 sq ft of indoor and outdoor space

Our private garden is more than just a play area. It's where your child can run, dig,
imagine and just be a child. Whether chasing bubbles or heading off on a yard adventure, it's a space that feeds both body and mind.
Our staff are more than carers. They're people who truly care. We have an open-door policy, so you can pop in, ask questions, or share in your Childs day. Honest updates, familiar faces, kind words: that's what you can expect from us.
